A wanderer is man from his birth	A
He was born in a ship	B
On the breast of the river of Time	C
Brimming with wonder and joy	D
He spreads out his arms to the light	E
Rivets his gaze on the banks of the stream	F
	-
As what he sees is so have his thoughts been	G
Whether he wakes	H
Where the snowy mountainous pass	I
Echoing the screams of the eagles	J
Hems in its gorges the bed	K
Of the new born clear flowing stream	F
Whether he first sees light	E
Where the river in gleaming rings	L
Sluggishly winds through the plain	M
Whether in sound of the swallowing sea	N
As is the world on the banks	O
So is the mind of the man	P
	-
Vainly does each as he glides	Q
Fable and dream	F
Of the lands which the river of Time	C
Had left ere he woke on its breast	R
Or shall reach when his eyes have been closed	S
Only the tract where he sails	T
He wots of only the thoughts	U
Raised by the objects he passes are his	V
	-
Who can see the green earth any more	W
As she was by the sources of Time	C
Who imagines her fields as they lay	X
In the sunshine unworn by the plough	Y
Who thinks as they thought	Z
The tribes who then roamed on her breast	R
Her vigorous primitive sons	A2
	-
What girl	B2
Now reads in her bosom as clear	C2
As Rebekah read when she sate	D2
At eve by the palm shaded well	E2
Who guards in her breast	R
As deep as pellucid a spring	F2
Of feeling as tranquil as sure	G2
	-
What bard	H2
At the height of his vision can deem	F
Of God of the world of the soul	I2
With a plainness as near	C2
As flashing as Moses felt	J2
When he lay in the night by his flock	K2
On the starlit Arabian waste	L2
Can rise and obey	X
The beck of the Spirit like him	M2
	-
This tract which the river of Time	C
Now flows through with us is the plain	M
Gone is the calm of its earlier shore	W
Bordered by cities and hoarse	N2
With a thousand cries is its stream	F
And we on its breast our minds	O2
Are confused as the cries which we hear	P2
Changing and shot as the sights which we see	N
	-
And we say that repose has fled	K
For ever the course of the river of Time	C
That cities will crowd to its edge	Q2
In a blacker incessanter line	R2
That the din will be more on its banks	O
Denser the trade on its stream	F
Flatter the plain where it flows	S2
Fiercer the sun overhead	K
That never will those on its breast	R
See an ennobling sight	E
Drink of the feeling of quiet again	T2
	-
But what was before us we know not	U2
And we know not what shall succeed	V2
	-
Haply the river of Time	C
As it grows as the towns on its marge	W2
Fling their wavering lights	X2
On a wider statlier stream	F
May acquire if not the calm	Y2
Of its early mountainous shore	W
Yet a solemn peace of its own	Z2
	-
And the width of the waters the hush	A3
Of the grey expanse where he floats	B3
Freshening its current and spotted with foam	C3
As it draws to the Ocean amy strike	D3
Peace to the soul of the man on its breast	R
As the pale waste widens around him	M2
As the banks fade dimmer away	X
As the stars come out and the night wind	E3
Brings up the stream	F
Murmurs and scents of the infinite sea	N
